[QUOTE="ender, post: 1059451, member: 269567"] Thanks for taking the time to respond. I don't really expect anyone to know what's wrong. This is something of a hail mary pass on my part. :p The weird thing about my weight/diet right now is that I'm actually eating slightly more calories (100-200 calories) and a lot more fat than usual. I'm also a bit less active. I shouldn't be losing. From age 22-33ish, I kept myself at 130-135. I ate low-ish carb and lifted weights, tracked my macronutrients and gym time. I gain weight easy, so if I indulged a bit too much in treats/carbs, I'd buckle down on my diet and lose the two or three pounds I'd gained. That didn't happen often though. I only slid to 150 because I got injured and got into a living situation where I couldn't cook for myself. I had to eat what most people consider "normal" (higher carb and fat, lower protein, higher sugar, more processed...and all horrible for my metabolism). When I initially started losing, I thought it was because I was cooking for myself again and eating what works for my metabolism (healthy, whole foods mostly, low-ish carb). Then I thought it was perhaps because I was so ill. I've lost weight in the past a few times, and it's slow and requires a LOT of work. I tried the FODMAP diet for a couple of weeks because of IBS type issues, but ate whatever I wanted. Still lost weight. Then I had to go back on gluten for celiac testing. I ate tons of carbs for a couple weeks. Still lost weight (and got even more ill). Then I moved to grain-free, sugar-free for the last four months. My calories have been consistently higher and my fat intake higher than what kept me at my set point for YEARS. If anything I should be slightly gaining or staying the same weight, not losing (and not at this rate). My body is acting like I'm at a 400-500 calorie deficit per day. I'm about to add another meal/snack into my daily intake in an effort to address this because I refuse to be 36 years old and under 115 pounds at my height, Unfortunately, I'm not sure if I can handle more calories. I've never been a big eater, and I never had to be before. ETA: I just saw your edit about testing for diabetes.
